'Simple' needs another initialism on its own. Most of the others get fair exposure. Having Simple explained well in a way that's easy to remember and apply would be great.

Why does this article on code practices unnecessarily mention NSFW topics, which now precludes my sharing this (otherwise well written and insightful article) with my coworkers?

The subheader of the website mentions they specialize in professional Go consulting, but I'm kind of turned off by their unnecessarily risqué metaphors. Does not seem too "professional".

There's one metaphor about writing "dirty code" for porn sites. Unless I missed something else, that's literally it.

Unless your coworkers are children or aescetic monks, I don't see why that would be a problem. It's a dad joke.

The article has an odd postscript:

Neat concept. Fortuitously I was toying with a similar acronym a few days ago. I’m surprised by the similarities:

SCRIMP

secure correct readable idiomatic maintainable performant

No one wants to hear about this stuff unless you have a good acronym to go with it.

Hilariously true
